It’s been 39 years since the nuclear meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor facility, just outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Nuclear Hotseat host Libbe HaLevy was there visiting friends at the time and provides this chilling look back at the events as they took place and what has happened to the people since.
